The gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic load and the haematobiochemical profile of local cattle reared in Joyhing area of north bank plain zone of Assam were studied. GI helminth parasites were detected in the faecal samples collected from 90 animals through standard faecal sample examination techniques. The study revealed 55.72% positive for gastrointestinal
parasites which included 38.33% StrongyleSpp, 2.22% Strongyloides Spp., 5.55% Trichuris Spp. However, other gastro intestinal helminths recorded were 4.44% Fasciola and 6.66% Paramphistomum. While comparing between sexes, higher parasitic infestation were recorded in male (62%) than female (38%) animals. However the order of predominance
observed in male animals was somewhat inconsistent to that in females. The haematological parameters studied revealed a positive correlation to parasitic load of the infected animals.
